Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Evaluate the feasibility of the specific fatigue management program

Time frame
Through study completion, an average of 4 years

Secondary outcomes

The measurement of the evolution of the intensity of residual fatigue in the months following acute cancer treatment(s) before and after the specific fatigue management program

Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) for fatigue

Time frame
At the time of multidisciplinary screening and at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 18 months after completion of the specific fatigue management program.
